TMZ has learned San Diego Chargers star Antonio Cromartie is being investigated for assault with a deadly weapon over a bruising incident in a San Diego bar last night.​

According to law enforcement sources, Cromartie -- a Pro-Bowl defensive back -- was out celebrating the Chargers win at a local San Diego bar when somebody threw a champagne bottle which hit a bystander in the head.​

Witnesses claim there was champagne being sprayed back and forth between Cromartie's party and other bar patrons -- until the mood changed and someone threw a bottle. ​

We're told the bystander had a cut on his head -- but no ambulance was called to the scene. ​

Law enforcement sources tell us 25-year-old Cromartie was identified as the bottle-thrower by at least one person -- but there are conflicting stories from other witnesses. ​

Cromartie was essential in the Chargers' 32-3 win over the Denver Broncos yesterday, raking in a key interception in the second half. ​

Cut his ***, bench him, Keshawn him, I don't care. I am so sick of his ****. Get him the hell out of SD already.

Bit of a quick reation there. Sounds like TMZ might be sensationalizing the story a bit. One witness says Cro threw a bottle, but there were like 30 witnesses. So who knows what really happened? I think you should wait to find out the whole story before assuming the worst about Cro.

UPDATE: Cromartie's agent, Gary Wichard, seems to be throwing Antonio's teammates under the bus, telling TMZ, "This is absolutely not a story. Antonio didn't throw the bottle. There were actually three other players involved. Antonio is at a complex working out. Again, this is not a story."

UPDATE #2: After we posted Wichard's statement, his story changed -- here is what he's telling us now, "he was there with 2 other players ... no one was involved in the fight."

I know who's involved. It was them damn Turd fans. I bet they were out celebrating after their upset of the Bengals. I mean after a victory like that, anyone could find the courage to don their silver and black attire and go galavanting around town. Not much more to celebrate these days for them RaiDuh fans.

But in all seriousness though, plain stupidity on the part of our Charger players. C'mon, PB Bar & Grill? I mean, that's okay if you want to party among the commoners/fans, but there is no guarantee they're all Charger fans there. On top of that, you want to throw in the element of alcohol... :icon_shrug: NOT SMART. BTW, PB Bar & Grill blows, I haven't been to that joint in years, and I'm in my mid-twenties.

Spraying champagne is some ghetto *** **** to do. Cro has proven to be, as Nickel says so eloquently, "a dumb ****". Can't hit, can't tackle, can't cover. All he can do is pick off passes every so often. He is all flash.

I'm not a fan of Cro either. You put yourself in a position for this **** by the choices you make. And he makes stupid choices.

That being said, he has been playing well lately and it would hurt our team if he isn't on the field. In time, I think Cason can take over for him and do a good job, I just don't want that time to be now.

Come on, now.

What are they supposed to do? Restrict themselves to a home because they're sports players?

Alcohol is fine as long as you know how to handle it.

Assuming the allegations are true, Cro apparently can't handle it. But that doesn't mean it's such a horrible thing to do (going out drinking) for the players in general.

I agree with all of the above! Spraying champaign. Really? We won a game! A regular season game. And we're spraying champaign? I mean I appreciate what we've done this year I appreciate it a lot! And I am pumped on yesterday's win, but to spray champaign thats just stupid, it aint the super bowl, its not even the playoffs for F's sake. And then to throw the bottle at someone as if you think you are such a huge star that you wont get in trouble? What an idiot! Ugh I was dreaming of Super Bowls, waking up to this is just disturbing as all hell!

It was a big emotional win. So what?

As long as it doesn't affect their play the rest of the season who gives a ****? :icon_shrug:

SAN DIEGO — Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie is being investigated after a fight at a bar in Pacific Beach early Monday morning that left one person with minor injuries, San Diego police said.

The fight was reported just before 1:30 a.m. at Bar West on Hornblend Street near Bayard Street, police said. Someone apparently threw a champagne bottle that hit another person in the head, police Detective Gary Hassen said.

The person suspected of throwing the bottle told police that it “slipped out his hand,” Hassen said. Cromartie is listed as the suspect, police said.

Police have conducted several interviews with witnesses and have had many conflicting statements. More than one Chargers player was in the bar including linebacker Stephen Cooper, Hassen said.

The investigation is continuing and will be turned over to the city attorney on Monday, Hassen said.

I agree with you Leo, to some degree. We shouldn't impose restrictions on our players, but c'mon. It's during the season. You should be here, focused on one goal: winning the Lombardi. If you're not here to try to win one, please GTFO. You bring up another good point too, that even if they go out, they should be responsible and able to handle their alcohol. In this case, if any of the players are guilty, they completely failed.

Is it me, or does Stephen Cooper always pops up when there's an incident. I swear, half the time when a player gets in trouble, Coop is always there. I bet that mother-f*cker can party like a rock-star, drink like a fish, and still handle himself in a professional manner. That my friend, is truly admirable.

BTW, I don't think they were spraying Cristal. It's PB Bar & Grill, so they were getting down with Korbel.
